International Women’s Day 2019: Sonam Kapoor questions the idea of this day

Friday, 8th March marks International Women's Day 2019 and with it, celebrities across the globe are soaked in celebration mode. While some are sharing their achievements, some are posting pictures of important women in their lives and so on, looks like B-town's Sonam Kapoor has a different voice and she wants it to reach the masses. In a recent post on Instagram, with a blank plain pink picture, Sonam's is seen asking a thought-provoking and impactful question to the society which every one of us should notice ASAP.

Elaborating on her first post, we see Sonam making a point on how women of today are going places, having access to roles they never would have a few years ago and at the same time supporting movements that speak for their rights. Not just this, after a while, she also posted another blank white image where she has taken names of achievers like Indra Nooyi, Malala Yousef, Sheryl Sandberg, and Oprah Winfrey and expressed how every single day these women make history. But the highlight of her post was the hashtag which reads Why Have Women's Day?

This is not the first time Sonam has voiced her opinion and spoke about something uniquely important. The fashionista of Bollywood, who recently starred in an LGBTQ themed film Ek Ladki Ko Dekha Toh Aisa, has never shied away from making people aware of issues in regards to gender inequality, pay parity or even LGBT rights. And this time, she has questioned the need for having Women's Day in the country.
